This is fine. I *want* to make things more classic, but it's difficult to even read these threads when non-classicness is addressed so generally. Like, your example that blue diamonds shouldn't drop till velious.. isn't correct. Blue diamonds dropped in Kunark, but blue diamond jewelry shouldn't be craftable till Velious. This was corrected 2 months ago, retroactively, but a patch hasn't occurred.
It's the raid scene and rules, then? If there's something I can fix, I go out of my way to fix it. If it's generally complaining about raiding, then address it as such. I think the raid scene is trash as well. What's funny about that is.. if you played on a server with top 5 worldwide guilds, it's pretty damn classic and awful. Da`Kor was my experience, but the difference is they did the most they could with the fewest people they could. That.. is not the zerg mentality of present day.
Nah, not taking it personally. I just want specific examples so I can fix it if it's fixable. As I said above, rules and player interactions are quite more difficult to fix than something actually having to do with Everquest...
Didn't ignore anything that I'm aware of. I've responded to the raid scene proposals and various other things. I have a vote in management decisions. Essentially, I want to recreate classic eq. When it goes beyond the actual work, it ... sucks. Managing people sucks. Managing people's expectations sucks worse.
It is literally impossible to please everyone, but we seriously do what we can. Zerg guilds, on both servers, I wish you would drop some numbers or create rules or rotations with other guilds. It's ridiculous that it reaches the point that management is blamed for what happens in game.

I think what people are getting at is if you are willing to make the server non-classic (variance), yet you realize it's bad and it's not working and it basically stops anyone that doesn't play the game 24/7 from competing for the bosses, then WHY do you leave it in the game?
Ideally someone who feels the sever should be classic would change it back. Or on the other hand, if someone is trying to make the raid scene better then they would change variance to something that works which is fine in my eyes. I thought this server was about emulating classic. So you should either emulate classic or fix the raid scene in a non-classic way so people can enjoy a somewhat classic server not be frustrated that only one guild gets to experience it.
So what's the problem? Either you want to fix raiding or you want the server to be classic. In it's current state variance is not doing either.
